SCHOLAR RESPONSES:

What has your scholarship meant to you and how has it enabled you to pursue new and exciting opportunities?

This scholarship has allowed me to pursue my education without the added stress of a financial burden. It has reminded me that hard work pays off and that I need to invest in my own education, but that as long as I stay focused, I will come across people who are willing to invest in me and help me out as well.

How will you make a positive difference in the world?

I want to make a positive difference in the world, especially for young women, by demonstrating to them that it is possible to stick to your beliefs, remain open-minded and inclusive, and be successful if you pair those things with honesty, hard work, and a genuine interest in others. I want to remain open to different career and life paths in the future, whiile always working at and studying something I really care about and want to use in my future. I wish to accomplish all this while remaining balanced between academia, art, recreation, and leadership.
